Answer: Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the major chord, the tonic is the "rest" note, this is the root of the chord, for example, in E major, E is the tonic.

Dominant is the note with more "strength" in the chord, is the fifth degree in the chord, for example in the C major chord, the dominant will be G.

Then the correct option is B, platonic.
